What factors played into today's highly scientific Power Ranking that I spent a lot of time mulling and didn't at all dash it off in my hotel room so you would have something to distract you on a Friday afternoon? Uhhhhh. The best spies have a facility with foreign languages, are masters of disguise and deception. They can keep calm in tense situations and, above all else, look good carrying a weapon. Enjoy. I've saved my current TV obsession for last.

Agent 99 -- "Get Smart": Maxwell Smart wouldn't have made it without Agent 99 to pick up his slack. Shoe phones will only get you so far.

Sterling Archer -- "Archer": I don't watch this show. I did this so you wouldn't yell at me. XO.

Fiona Glenanne -- "Burn Notice": This girl wore a fashionable fanny pack for more than one season and used the contents of it to blow ALL the things up. She's the best. Her Irish accent is the worst. But she's the best.

MacGyver -- "MacGyver": Well, what can you do with a comb and some tissue paper?

John Casey -- "Chuck": John Casey was so delightful he made me want to forget everything I knew about Adam Baldwin.

Carrie Mathison-- "Homeland": Yes, okay, she's a basket case, but she's a damn good analyst and it's a joy to see her working an informant.

Lucas North -- "Spooks": I had a lot of options from "Spooks" but I was reasonably certain you'd torch me if I deprived you of Armitage.

Agent Vaughn -- "Alias": Hmmmmm, did this show take place in the early 2000s? I can't tell.

Alexander Scott -- "I Spy": As quick on the trigger as he was with a comeback, Cosby's spy was one cool cat.
